I had to check what PBS was on wiki but I guessed it was a tv channel there and it is. Well Robin Zander was often referred to as "The Man of a Thousand Voices" due to his ability to sound very different across certain albums. The order I've actually put their 6 essential albums, is the order to listen to them in, it is also the correct release sequence as well. Tuneful melodies, Power pop, hard rock, blazing guitars and pounding drums fuelled up with energy are present on all those albums.

Its actually amazing how the first three albums actually didn't sell very well in the USA and it was only their huge success in Japan and the release of the Budoken album, that showed America what they were missing.
